Injured people need to know that they have rights, and enlisting a personal injury attorney is one of the best steps they can take to protect those rights.
FREEHOLD, NJ, August 19, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The law firm of Clark & Clark announced Thursday that partner attorney Michael Noonan has recovered $165,000 in a recent car accident injury case. Noonan pursued compensation on behalf of a client who sustained injuries to the spine after being rear-ended by another driver.
"This case was a sobering reminder of the impact a rear-end collision can have on the victim," Noonan said.
According to the New Jersey State Police's Fatal Motor Vehicle Crash Report for 2014 (the most recent year for which data are available), 54 people died in rear-end accidents in New Jersey. This represented a more than 40% increase from the preceding year's fatalities resulting from rear-end collisions.
Victims of spinal cord injury can suffer significant complications that may last a lifetime, from chronic pain to paralysis. These injuries often necessitate not only emergency treatment at the time of the accident but also ongoing home care, physical rehabilitation, modifications to the victim's home and vehicle and more.
Noonan said that car crash victims facing spinal cord trauma or other serious injuries should be aware that they may be able to recover damages for both the costs they have incurred as well as compensation for future expenses stemming from the accident.
"The aftermath of a car accident is painful and often confusing," he said. "Injured people can understand their legal rights if they contact a personal injury attorney after they are involved in an accident."
